CURRENT RESOURCES OF “HERSTORICAL” SIGNIFICANCE

Introduction

In recent years, numerous initiatives have emerged to support women –

particularly those who have been historically marginalised – working at

the intersection of art and science. These initiatives recognise the need for

both online and in-person spaces where women can engage with the ethics

of care and explore the transformative potential of transdisciplinary art and

science practices. Rooted in the belief that feminist perspectives are

essential for advancing equality, these efforts foster collaboration, experimentation,

and dialogue, while addressing issues such as gender inequality,

scientific representation, and the need for more inclusive narratives in both

art and science. The following list features key organisations, platforms, and

networks at the forefront of supporting women in these fields. Each entry

highlights a unique initiative – ranging from community-building efforts to

interviews with leading women in their interdisciplinary practice – that offers

valuable resources, opportunities, and inspiration. While this chapter focuses

primarily on women in art-science contexts, it also gestures towards wider

feminist and rights-based movements in which women continue to play vital

roles. These include global efforts to advance social justice, advocate for

equity, and challenge structural barriers across multiple domains, including

education, policy, and humanitarian work. Together, these initiatives

foster inclusive environments where women can thrive, collaborate, and

drive meaningful change.
